We Are Ophthalmology LTD We Care About Your Health
Over the years, Ophthalmology LTD's name has become associated with the highest quality of comprehensive medical and surgical eye care. Highly trained ophthalmologists David West, Bryan Hammer, Gregory Osmundson, Eric Thomas, Dustin Dierks, Ryan Geraets, Michael Eide, Elizabeth Atchison, and Elise In’t Veld, as well as experienced optometrists Andrea McCann and Emily Walters combine their considerable expertise to give each and every patient the best possible care. Ophthalmology LTD delivers treatment for cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, as well as cornea transplants, oculoplastic surgery, retina surgery, vitreoretinal surgery, and pediatric eye care in Sioux Falls.
The Finest Eye Specialists in the Tri-State Area
Ophthalmology LTD brings the finest eye specialists in South Dakota to satellite offices in the tri-state area: Luverne, Pipestone, Worthington and Windom in Minnesota, Rock Valley, Sibley, and Sioux Center in Iowa, as well as Dell Rapids, Madison, Mitchell, and Yankton in South Dakota.
In 1968, Ophthalmology LTD revolutionized eye care by taking a comprehensive approach, bringing patients a full range of vision specialties under one roof. Today, eye care teams across the nation are now mimicking the strategy we have spent more than 50 years perfecting. It is because of this experience and our genuine dedication to our patients that our team is widely considered the finest, most comprehensive group of sub-specialty eye surgeons in the tri-state Siouxland area.
Our Services
Our ophthalmologists have expertise in a wide range of specialties and work as a team to meet your eye care needs.
Cataracts
Not only is cataract treatment the most frequently performed surgery in the United States, it is also one of the most successful. More than 99% of patients who undergo cataract removal rank their vision as significantly improved. Drs. Osmundson, Hammer, Dierks, Eide, In't Veld, and West perform this highly effective procedure.
Glaucoma
Early detection and treatment is the key to preventing vision loss with Glaucoma. More than three million Americans have glaucoma, but only half are actually aware that this "silent thief" is slowly and without warning stealing away their vision, sometimes without any noticeable symptoms. Drs. Osmundson and In't Veld at Ophthalmology LTD specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma.
Pediatrics
Children should have a yearly comprehensive eye exam along with their parents. Many vision problems can be detected early and treated before they become detrimental to a child's development, learning abilities, and every day function. Dr. West of Ophthalmology LTD has 22 years of experience in the evaluation and treatment of children's vision.
Retina
The retina functions much like the film in a camera, and when film is damaged, so is the picture. Our retinal specialists Drs. Geraets, Thomas, and Atchison offer comprehensive retinal exams and treatment to protect against diseases such as diabetic retinopathy that can damage your retina and vision.
Cornea
If a window pane is distorted or marred by imperfections, it is difficult to see out through it clearly. Your cornea is your eye’s window. To keep it clear or to restore it to its proper state, Dr. Eide of Ophthalmology LTD uses his specialty training in corneal diseases to treat dry eye, keratoconus, and other conditions that can cause corneal imperfections.
Oculoplastics
When your eyelids, eye sockets, or tear ducts malfunction, or a tumor threatens your vision, Ophthalmology LTD oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Hammer can help. Specializing in procedures that restore clear vision as well as a more youthful appearance, Dr. Hammer treats and manages a wide variety of ocular conditions.
We are a team of passionate professionals with
MORE THAN 50 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

I was greeted with a smile as I entered the office. My wait to see doctor was less than 5 minutes. His assistant was thoughtful and empathetic about the things I shared with her. She did several tests and explained everything before doing it. She shared with Dr. Dierks so he was prepared when he entered the room. He was thorough and reassuring about my scary situation (I was referred by my regular eye doctor.) He ordered several tests that would be done in the office and right away. I had never been through these types of tests before and was scared. The professional that did the testing explained everything and reassured me that they were there to help me. After finishing the testing I was escorted back to my original room. Doctor and a student came in and explained the test results. He then did a very thorough exam of all parts of my eyes. He found some things I was unaware of, but reassured me that another specialist in the building could treat the problem. He also ordered an mri. He asked if I had any questions and waited for my answer. He went over the plan for me to make sure I understood everything. Then I went to the scheduler’s office. She was also kind and helpful. She had my insurance checked to make sure she could schedule things. Then she scheduled the mri at a hospital near my home. Dr Dierks let me know he would contact me with the results the day following the test. Then the scheduler set up the appointment to see the other specials. Both the testing and new appointment were scheduled to be done within two weeks. She made sure I had copies of everything for follow ups and asked if I had any questions. I’m very impressed with the care I received and that I was listened to by every person that interacted with me. I felt much better after the appointment that I was receiving the best care available! read less

I called Opthalmology LTD hoping they could fit me in before closing for the weekend. One hour later I was waiting in an exam room with eyes dilated.
